I read this for a trip I will be going on next year. Some parts were poorly phrased, but overall I found it informative. He covers some history along w/culture around religion, eating, gift giving, & group mindset as opposed to western individualism. Etiquette is complicated for someone not raised there to master, but he assures the reader that if you are respectful & trying that is enough during your stay. If I were to actually move there or 👇🏻

Chrys Do business with them I would want a more in depth guide. I did read a new edition, someone had reviewed an older one and was very negative about it. I did not see much of what she spoke of. While he does talk about separation of inside and outside (home/family etc) he does not say they are dishonest. And while he says the trains are dirty he says the people themselves are very clean.
